Needs You.
Nonprofit Partners
As a nonprofit for nonprofits, our mission is to empower community problem-solving and enhance the ability of nonprofit organizations and small businesses to make a positive impact.
Raised for Nonprofits
Our Why
A strong nonprofit sector can catalyze tremendous positive change. Nonprofits provide vital services and play an essential role in creating vibrant, sustainable communities. They exist to feed, heal, shelter, educate, inspire, and mobilize residents of every age and socioeconomic status to join the civic conversation.
But local nonprofits face several barriers to driving real, meaningful change:
-
Lack of Funding
-
Limited Capacity
-
Lack of Community Engagement
-
Political & Regulatory Barriers
-
Competition for Resources
That’s where TCN comes in…
We Are A Growth Engine
Rather than focus solely on the creation of new nonprofits that may duplicate effort, we help build the capacity of existing nonprofits.
We Are A Convener
We identify needs as the emerge and bring nonprofits and other community partners together to collaborate and solve problems.
We Are A Catalyst
In addition to identifying problems and related solutions, TCN finds the resources that partners need to turn ideas into action.
Events, Meetings, Workshops
TCN is building a better tomorrow locally, providing a platform for community members to connect, collaborate and find solutions to shared challenges. Join the movement and experience the power of community connection.

We bring the right people together to address issues that have a profound impact on the community. These issues are all interrelated and can reinforce one another. By tackling them together, our communities can create a better quality of life for all.
For Our Community:
Community Projects & Focus Areas
TCN’s community projects promote collaboration and aim to make a positive impact by identifying gaps and emerging needs in the community. We work on a range of initiatives, from short-term to long-term, to address immediate needs and bring about systemic change. Projects are chosen based on community needs and executed with the help of our partners.
TCN Committees
TriCounty Community Network’s most important community contribution are the tireless problem solving of the organization’s committees. TCN committees are comprised of nonprofit organizations, businesses and individuals that have interest in a specific community issue. Most of TCN’s committee meetings are held immediately following the organizations general monthly meeting, providing a convenient way for members and meeting attendees to get involved in committee work. Committee work requires a commitment of about 1-3 hours per month for 10 months. So, for 13 hours per year you could make a big impact on community needs in our area!
To participate in a TCN committee or for more committee information please email akolpak@tcnetwork.org
